Heather Feldman

Heather Feldman is the Women's Assistant Volleyball Coach at University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Heather Feldman is in her first season as Associate Head Coach with the Hawks after serving four seasons as the Hawks' assistant volleyball coach, receiving the title in July 2022.

As Associate Head Coach, Feldman works with Head Coach Trevor Callarman in logistics, recruiting and training. While working with all aspects of the program, Feldman — a setter in college — can provide meaningful guidance to setters.

She arrived on The Shore in September 2018, and immediately went to work to help guide the Hawks to 10 victories and a second place finish in the MEAC North. Her contributions led to four All-MEAC selections, including junior Ivana Blazevic who made second team as a setter.

A native of Eden, New York, just outside Buffalo, Feldman comes to The Shore from Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. She was a four-year setter for the Runnin’ Bulldogs as an undergrad and worked as a graduate assistant beginning in January 2016.

With 4,545 assists, Feldman ranks second all-time in Runnin’ Bulldogs history. Her career also includes 1,112 digs, 314 kills, 149 blocks and 92 service aces. The 314 kills came with a .316 attack percentage - the highest-ever for a Gardner-Webb player. The team made the Big South tournament three years out of four during her career.

Feldman’s play on the court earned her a North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) All-State selection and a Big South Conference All-Freshman selection in 2011. She graduated summa cum laude in May 2015 with a bachelors’ in music and completed a master’s in business administration in August of this year.

Her academic accolades were recognized with two placements on the Capital One Academic All-District Team and three placements on the Big South All-Academic Team.

As a graduate assistant, Feldman assisted coach Leo Sayles in several aspects of the program, including practices, team travel, study hall and managerial support staff.

When her volleyball playing career finished, she faced and beat her toughest opponent, defeating Stage 3 Non-Hodgkins lymphoma after being diagnosed in 2016. Feldman has also worked with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as an event coordinator, marketing and managing a “Dig Lime” charity fundraiser.
